Mu Beirong was about to ask more when suddenly the voice of a guard came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, an assassin just broke in and your subordinates want to come in for a search."
Mu Beirong and the old emperor looked at each other, jumped up, and hid in the beams of the room.
The guard didn't even wait for the old emperor's consent.
After informing him, he opened the door and came in, searching everywhere.
"Feed it."
A guard patted the two sleeping eunuchs.
Dizzy, why did he get up?
The old emperor coughed twice: "Stop filming, they are exhausted, let them rest."
The guard then gave up, searched for a while, and then left with a clatter.
Mu Beirong landed lightly and couldn't wait to ask: "Where are my parents?"
"It's in the hands of Lao Wu."
The old emperor sighed: "This matter was originally very secret, but who knew that he had already infiltrated people into my confidants at some point, and then it was exposed that he is a man with great ambitions and methods.
Being so harsh will definitely force your mother to make weapons."
Mu Beirong looked solemn: "Of course he can, so it was also his fault that you suddenly became seriously ill."
The old emperor nodded: "I don't care.
We don't have much time left.
After lying down for so long, I figured out that I should have seen it a long time ago.
Even if your mother died, she would not agree to be my woman.
If I had known If things get like this, it’s better to let her go free."
"Since you are so affectionate, how can you not understand the feelings of my parents?"
Mu Beirong stood up: "You are just selfish, so selfish that you can't get it, and you don't want them to be happy."
"You are indeed their son."
The old emperor laughed: "Maybe I will die soon.
This place is like an iron barrel.
I'm afraid others can't get in.
Can I ask you a favor?"
Makubeirong originally wanted to give him a ride.
It was he who caused the fall of Mucheng and the imprisonment of his parents.
He had endured the hardships for more than ten years, but seeing this old man, Makubeirong let go.
In the past, he would have hesitated.
It was Yao'er who made his heart slowly soften and become like a normal person.
Moreover, the corners of Mu Beirong's mouth twitched slightly under his mask.
His child was about to be born, so for the sake of his child, he would try to avoid getting as much blood as possible.
Surprised, Mu Beirong received an imperial edict from the old emperor and quietly left the palace while the guards were changing.
Qiao Sang was already waiting outside the palace.
He was relieved to see Mu Beirong come out safely: "It is really the old emperor inside."
Mu Beirong nodded: "Go back and talk."
It was already midnight, and there was almost no one on the road.
She put away her black clothes and returned to the inn.
Before she could open the door, Yao Shu suddenly opened the door: "Beirong, you are back."
Mu Beirong was surprised: "Why isn't Yao'er sleeping yet?"
"I can't sleep."
Yao Shu stepped aside and said, "Come in quickly."
Mubei Rong's heart warmed up.
Some people were waiting, and some were worried.

Isn't this what he expected?
But he said: "Nothing is more important than your body now.
Don't do this next time."
Yao Shu nodded and said impatiently: "How will you gain anything?"
"The old emperor is imprisoned by Huangfu Ji and he may not have much time left to live."
Mu Beirong took a sip of water: "This Huangfu Ji is much more courageous than the princes in the southern border."
"Then where are your parents?"
"It's also in Huangfu Ji's hands."
Mu Beirong frowned: "Just because the old emperor refused to force my parents to make weapons, Huangfu Ji imprisoned him, so the old emperor can't guarantee their safety now."
"What do you mean?"
Qiao Sang asked: "The old emperor protects the city lord and his wife."
"This is why Northern Xinjiang has not made weapons for ten years.
The old emperor likes my mother."
"No wonder" Yao Shu suddenly realized: "Huangfu Ji imprisoned him because he was afraid that he would stop him."
"Now that we know he is there, it will be easier to find him.
Qiao Sang will start sending people tomorrow to keep an eye on him in turns.
In addition, as long as everyone is related to him, we will investigate them all."
A lot of their manpower has arrived one after another.
It's enough before you start using it.
"Okay" Qiao Sang stood up: "I will make arrangements tomorrow.
The young master and the young mistress should have a rest early."
He looked at Yao Shu and was already cheering up.
Mu Beirong picked up Yao Shu and put her on the bed, taking off the cloak she was wearing: "Don't do this next time, you hear me?"
He knew that Yao Shu was very sleepy now and had to sleep for a long time during the day, let alone stay up so late. , must have been sleepy for a long time.
Yao Shu yawned slightly: "Yeah."
Seeing whether she was listening or not, Mu Beirong sighed helplessly, took off his clothes and went to bed to hug her, only to find that she had already fallen asleep.
Mu Beirong's eyes were soft, and he hugged her contentedly and fell asleep.
Qiao Sang was sitting in the unfinished restaurant, drinking one cup after another.
The loneliness on his face was unprecedented.
She was more beautiful and charming, Qiao Sang knew, that was because she was about to become a mother.
He was thinking that if he rescued the city lord and his wife, he would resign from the young master and go travel around the mountains and rivers.
That would be his free life.
In particular, he couldn't bear to see her and the young master falling in love with each other more and more.
He used to be very generous, as long as he saw them happy, as long as she could be happy.
But he found that he couldn't do it.
The longer they stayed together and the more times they met, the more he couldn't help himself.
It was even difficult to look away from her.
He looked at her, always thinking about what she was thinking and what she thought of him.
He knew that she must have heard his last words that time in Guishan.
What did she think when they met again, he still failed to see She felt a little different about herself, not even a little uncomfortable.
If she continues like this, she is destined to become her own inner demon and be unable to extricate herself.
After drinking happily and getting drunk, he woke up in the lobby of the restaurant with his eyes a little red.
He rubbed his twitching forehead, washed his face, and remembered what the young master said yesterday.
That's fine, rescue the person quickly and he will retire with success.
Mu Beirong did not move anymore.

He went shopping with Yao Shu every day to see the animals.
I went shopping with Yao Shu to see the restaurant under construction, but didn't go anywhere.
Princess Lingya still came to Xiao Qingli across the mountain, and sometimes Huangfuyin would invite them to the mansion to talk.
It seems that I am living very peacefully, but secretly you are staring at me.
I suspect that you are following their suspicions and watching others.
When Qiao Sang has no definite information, he will not act rashly again.
Just like that, five days later, the old emperor died.
The whole country is mourning and the atmosphere is heavy.
The turmoil also started from this day.
The third prince was killed by Huangfu.
The fourth prince was imprisoned by Huangfu.
The seventh prince, Huangfu Yin, was sent to the frontier by Huangfu.
After hearing the news, Mu Beirong thought of the imperial edict, which should be the old emperor's will.
However, he pondered for a long time and suppressed the idea of taking it out.
Now is not the time.
In today's Northern Xinjiang, even if If someone stands up to fight against him, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist.
After the first seven years of the old emperor's reign, Huangfu Ji's registered country name was changed to Zhengrong.
His country name clearly showed his ambition.
Mu Beirong knew that there would be no peace between the two countries.
Soon, soon war would break out again because no one could stop Huangfu Sui.
Mu Beirong's guess was correct.
After waiting for half a month, he finally received the news from Qiao Sang.
His men saw Huangfu Ji leaving the palace.
On the chaotic hill behind the palace, they saw for the first time I just heard the power of that thing described by Yao Shu.
They had no idea about this thing in their minds before.
Although they saw that the young mistress valued fear so much, they didn't pay too much attention to it because they had never been exposed to it and could not imagine that there was any weapon more powerful than a sword.
But after they saw the power of explosives, they were all confused.
What the hell is that?
A thing the size of a stone can actually blow up a piece of rubble.
If such a thing is used on the battlefield, if it is faced with a flesh and blood body, it is unimaginable that no matter how high the martial arts is, the corpse will be blown up before it gets close.
How can we withstand the attack on the southern border, no matter how many soldiers there are?
"Explosives have been made, and it seems that war is not far away."
Yao Shu sighed.
Perhaps because she was born in a peaceful era, she has a natural repulsion and aversion to war.
Although she has faced gangsters, terrorists, and desperadoes, this is completely different from war.
Once a war begins, it will satisfy the needs and needs of the superiors.
The sacrifices were made by innocent soldiers and civilians, with rivers of blood and corpses strewn everywhere.
"Beirong" Yao Shu looked at the thoughtful Mu Beirong.
"Since Huangfu Ji is now the emperor, is it possible for my parents to be moved to the palace?"
Mu Beirong was thinking, if it were him, would he put them inside the palace or outside the palace.
"I think they should still be outside the palace."
Qiao Sang said: "It is indeed difficult to detect two people brought into the palace from the outside, but if so much saltpeter and sulfur are brought in, our people will not be able to detect them."
Indeed, the goal of making explosives in the palace is too big, and there are too many people in the palace.
If it were him, he probably would not bring them into the palace.
"Continue to monitor closely," Mu Beirong explained: "We can't just sit back and wait.

All the remaining personnel are assigned to secretly search for the place where my parents are being held.
Pay attention to secret and quiet places."
It seems that the power of experimental explosives has just been made.
If we can find someone as soon as possible and the quantity of explosives is still small, the situation will not be so difficult.
Yao Shu suddenly said: "What if we can't find it as soon as possible?
If we want to confront Beijiang, we must use explosives and we must make them quickly just in case."
Mu Beirong nodded: "But everything is in Mu City."
"Even if I want to do it now, it won't work."
Yao Shu said suddenly: "The materials are there but the only thing missing is the method.
But I am already pregnant.
I have been playing with things that are not good for the child for a long time.
I told Li Zheng how to do it in detail.
He goes back to do it” “You can do it even if you don’t understand” "Yes," Yao Shu said, "Li Zheng is smart and reliable, and the most important thing in making explosives is the proportion.
As long as he is careful and tries a few times, he will definitely be able to do it."
"Okay" Mu Beirong is not sure that he will be able to find someone in a short time.
He really needs to be on guard against Huangfu Ji's sudden attack.
If explosives are really used, the southern border fortress will not be able to survive for three days:
